Been playing it a bit but mainly skirmish's. Cant get past first campagin mission, Dont think I got the patience for this game.

Over all I think Its a really good game and reminds me of a game I used to play called Shadow Watch. Good sound track too

So I bought this game...and it doesn't launch.

I'm so confused. I click on it in steam, it doesnt work. It just says a few minutes later it stopped working. I tried launching from folder, doesn't work. I tried installing from their website and launching, it doesnt work. It just doesn't respond and a few minutes later it says it crashed.

Loving this game, annoyed at how many people spam me with games though. I get that is how the system works but cmon, noone is good enough to play 15 games at once. Versing my freinds only atm and i have only dropped 2 games in 15.

i feel that the hostage mode could use a rework, some of the generated maps favour the defenders way to much.

Admitedly i do not know how the "units" for each side are chosen but it seems a bit ro random and unfair in some circumstances. I had an open map where i had 2/4 as shotguns against my mate who had 2/4 as snipers. I somehow managed to win but that was not because of good play, just luck and bad play on his part.

Another problem that i have with this game is the entire concept of aiming direction while standing still. It is unbelievably pointless considering that if i have enough time i can set up a timer that will make my guy do a 360degree every .5seconds and shoot at whoever he sees. Obviously i do not do this as it is really lame for my mates but it means that it is almost impossible to sneak up on my guys.

Saying that though this is one of the games that makes me think thus i enjoy to play it. My mechanics are not good enough for starcraft to involve complex descions and HoN is to teambased for me to enjoy planning anything. I would STRONGLY recommmend buying it to anyone who is sitting on the fence.

Anyone wanna give me their second copy?

:V

Anyways, seems like a really nice game. A lot of TF2 buddies of mine are getting into it. Chess with guns. The randomly generated levels seem like a nice touch too.

The shotgun only mission is way too brutal for the first mission, especially with how good the AI is.

Anyone know if there is a way to brute force waypoints? For example if I want a soldier to move straight through a wall that will be destroyed during the same turn.

Shift-leftclick when assigning a waypoint.

Of course, be careful he doesn't accidentally get stuck in a corner on the way. That'll just make him stop there untill you've reassigned his actions.

Looks interesting...does anyone have a spare copy left?
Seems to be like a game that rewards patience. Would like to give it a try but as it is it's too expensive to just try the game.

Holy shit this game is hard x.x

Yet sooo fun, though missions 2&3 were way too easy compared to 1

~~Anybody want to go halfsies on this? You get two copies when you buy the game so I figure splitting the cost is the logical solution.~~

Mission Accomplished.

What exactly does the "Check" command do?

How long is the campaign? I'm at like the 10th mission or something (just beat that one that they have lots of rocket launchers in this closed bunker to the left, and you have to get to this area on the right to blow him up), and it's getting boring because everything is soooo slow ><

I spend more time watching the game load each turn than actually playing

(well ok, I'm exaggerating, but those huge load times do add up)

Brutal? As in brutally owning the AI? Cause I found it pretty easy...

There seems to be a lot of luck involved in which seed of the mission you get. Often times when the mission loads up I just laugh as I press the restart button because the mission goes from retarded (my grenade/rocket spawning next to the enemy shotgun) to something that none of my units are going to die guaranteed first turn and then I can easily roll through the mission. Maybe I'll go back and try those silly versions again after I beat the campaign.

Maybe one day I'll actually challenge myself.
